Wise Owl Chalk Synthesis Paint — Iron Oxide

Iron Oxide is a deep, rusty red-brown with a raw, earthen soul — the color of weathered metal and desert stone. It adds warmth and history to rustic accent pieces and layered finishes, and makes a striking base for a time-worn, artisanal look. Bold, grounded, and full of character.

Chalk Synthesis Paint is Wise Owl's premium clay- and mineral-based furniture paint. It self-levels to soften brush strokes, grips to most surfaces with little to no prep or priming, and dries to a smooth, velvety matte finish. Low-VOC and low-odor so it's a pleasure to use indoors — and a little goes a long way: one coat covers beautifully, two give rich, full color. Proudly made in the USA.

How to use

Wipe your piece clean and give glossy surfaces a light scuff. Stir well, then brush or roll on thin, even coats, letting each dry 30–60 minutes — most projects need just two. No primer needed on most surfaces. For tabletops, cabinets, and other high-traffic pieces, seal with a Wise Owl topcoat or wax. Clean up with warm, soapy water while the paint is still wet.
